Google’s YouTube and Spotify Technology SA, the world’s most popular video and music services, are joining Netflix Inc. in steering clear of Apple Inc.’s upcoming mixed-reality headset.

YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device. YouTube, like Netflix, is recommending that customers use a web browser if they want to see its content: “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro at launch.”

      This is the sort of sentiment that shows how misunderstood this device is. No shade intended.

      It’s not just a VR headset you play games in and watch movies in.

      They are saying spatial computing because it’s a computer. Listening to music while you do other things is normal on a computer.
